Last Tuesday we went up to a neighboring canyon and tried to take some family pictures to be used on this years Christmas cards. Because of our current works schedules this was a very spontaneous trip and we did not ask anyone to come along with us to actually take the pictures.
No problem right? Our camera has a timer. We also have this very handy bendable tripod that can wrap around tree branches and stuff. This should be easy.
And so we headed up. We took a short walk from the trail head and found a great spot. Now we just had to set up the camera. Nathan is very crafty and within a minute or two the camera was hooked to a tree and we were ready to go.
Now for the really tricky part. To get Jasper to sit still with me while Nathan set the timer and ran to join us. As you will all see this took a few tries before we got it all right.

| "Wheres Jasper?" "Did that flash just go off?" |
 |
| Well my eyes are closed and Jasper is facing the wrong way. |
 |
| A little faster Nathan. |
 |
| Nathan didn't even make it into this shot. |
 |
| Closer but Jasper's trying to get away. |
 |
Almost perfect. If only Nathan didn't have his hands
around Jasper's neck. |
Believe it or not we did eventually get a great shot that is worthy of being on our Christmas cards. But I will not spoil the surprise by posting it here. You all just get to wait and see its for yourselves when they are mailed out.
Happy Saturday!!!
